Zooooooooh baby! Hagenbeck Zoo is buzzing with some fresh faces! 🐣
Hagenbeck Zoo rejoices in abundant newborn creatures. - Young animal park, Hagenbeck, is thrilled to accommodate numerous young visitors.
Cute cuddly critters have flooded the scene in Hagenbeck! Since late winter, several Vietnam Sika deer have given birth. These fuzzy newborns, usually hidden away in the foliage or nestled close to momma deer, have started to become more adventurous. They're now leaping and dashing about the spacious enclosure, making spectators swoon and zoo staff grin from ear to ear! Sika deer, considered critically endangered, are an essential part of conservation efforts, and Hagenbeck's keeper, Benjamin Krüger, couldn't be happier about the thriving herd.
Just a stone's throw away, a family of white-tailed porcupines welcomed two little bundles of quills. After a long hiatus of three years, the quill-master mommies have been busy again! Born covered in soft down, their quills haven't hardened yet, making the delivery process much less prickly. Animal keeper Heidi Rohr can't wait for the quills to come in; it'll be time then to be amazed by their spiky beauty!
Attention, piglet lovers! Over at the farmyard enclosure, eight little Bentheimer piggy wigglers are lawlessness! Dance floors would be envious of those little critters' energetic moves. Bentheimer Landschweine, an ancient breed that was once on the brink of extinction during the 90s, has made a remarkable comeback, thanks to Hagenbeck Zoo's dedicated breeding efforts.
If you're pumped about these new additions and want to stay updated on Hagenbeck's animal adventures, be sure to check out their official website or social media channels for up-to-the-minute news – trust us, you don't wanna miss out on the action!
The Commission, in its consultation on the draft directive on the protection of animals and the environment, might consider the lifestyle and home-and-garden implications of promoting conservation and breeding programs for critically endangered species like the Sika deer and Bentheimer Landschweine, thereby potentially enhancing their preservation. Ben and Heidi, being dedicated zookeepers, might incorporate these new additions into their home-and-garden settings, reflecting the harmonious coexistence of wildlife and human companionship.
